What begins as a private mantra evolves into something far more dangerous. Nina is smart, observant, and meticulous – plus she has learned a great deal from true-crime documentaries about how people get caught. If she's going to do this, she intends to do it perfectly.
But Nina isn't the only woman harboring secrets. The novel unfolds through the intersecting lives of Nina and her friends -- a glamorous new neighbor who might be a sociopath, a jet-setting lawyer married to a rap star, a PI desperate to escape corporate purgatory, and an artist whose self-destructive appetites are catching up with her. He's Gotta Go is a taut, multi-voiced examination of power, desire, and the quiet violence embedded in modern domestic life.
Darkly comic, sharply observed, and unsettlingly plausible, He's Gotta Go skewers wealth, marriage, motherhood, and the myths women are told about endurance and gratitude. Marilee Albert delivers a fearless, satirical thriller that asks an uncomfortable question: when survival itself feels criminal, how far would you go to reclaim your life?
With its cinematic storytelling and compelling characters, He’s Gotta Go is a natural fit for film or television. Discussions with established producers about an adaptation are currently underway, with an announcement expected soon.
